Chapter 187 Outpost Crisis
The phone is not easy to use because the phone line is cut off, and the radio is not easy to use because it is disturbed. When the interference source starts to radiate, the most prominent feature is the watch!
Someone cut off the communication equipment of the outpost!
"What important military target is hidden in the outpost!" Xiao Yuanchao suddenly frowned and asked Lao Niu.
"This..." Lao Niu became extremely alert in an instant.
"There are powerful radio interference sources nearby," Xiao Yuanchao said in a deep voice to Lao Niu: "The sentry cannot come back, they are already dead!"
Hearing this sentence, Lao Niu and Du Lala both widened their eyes at the same time, showing an incredible expression.
"Impossible!" Lao Niu blurted out.
"There is nothing impossible." Xiao Yuanchao sat up and asked extremely seriously: "Tell me what tasks your outpost is undertaking? What important military goals are hidden here? This is very important! By the way, tell me, based on your experience, is it normal or abnormal to have problems with the telephone line and radio at the same time?"
It's abnormal, this is absolutely abnormal. Even if the communication settings are cut off, the sentry should return on time. On cold days, no one wants to stay outside for an extra minute. Everyone knows that there will be mutton soup to drink at night. With those kids craving meat, how could they not return?
The patrol here is just a symbolic patrol, and there has never been any problem at all. But today the sentry has not returned, and it is almost dark.
The more Lao Niu thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, but his eyes still looked at Xiao Yuanchao. He was suspicious, suspecting that Xiao Yuanchao was an enemy spy who had infiltrated. Because the other party did not tell him the number of his troops and could not contact his superiors for verification.
"Old Niu, how many years have you been in the army?" Xiao Yuanchao asked Xiang Lao Niu.
"Sixteen years." Lao Niu replied.
"Well, you are a fourth-level non-commissioned officer now. You have been in the army for a long time. You have heard and seen a lot." Xiao Yuanchao pointed at himself and said, "My name is Xiao Yuanchao. I have four brothers. Their names are Xiao Jiefang, Xiao Zhonghua, Xiao Hongxing, and Xiao Xiangqian. Among them, my eldest brother Xiao Jiefang died in southern Xinjiang, and his troops are the 68xxx unit; the second brother Xiao Zhonghua died in Yunnan border, and his troops are the border defense battalion of the armed police's XX Division; my third brother Xiao Hongxing died in flood fighting and rescue, and is affiliated to the 3rd Company of the 1st Battalion of the 38th Regiment of the 3rd Infantry Division of the XX Group Army; my younger brother Xiao Xiangqian died in southern Tibet, and his troops are..."
Lao Niu was stunned when he heard this. He had been in the army for so long, so of course he knew that the four brothers of the Xiao family who caused a sensation in the entire army. These things were reported to the three armies, and they had studied the deeds of the four brothers of the Xiao family. Especially Xiao Jiefang and Xiao Xiangqian, who were from their military region. He even stayed in the same teaching brigade as Xiao Xiangqian!
"You are right. You are very similar to Xiao Xiangqian, and the troops number you are talking about is also right. You..." The old cowboy carefully looked at Xiao Yuanchao's cheek.
"If you know my little brother, you will know that his favorite thing is fiddling with Transformers."
"Yes, the Transformers he likes to fiddle with the most!" Old Niu said excitedly to Xiao Yuanchao: "Are you a young man from the Xiao family? Are you really a young man from the Xiao family? The Xiao brothers have no cowards, they are all tough guys, there is nothing to say!"
Lao Niu no longer doubted, no longer doubted. Because everything Xiao Yuanchao said was correct at all, no enemy special agent could tell these things so clearly, especially Xiao Xiangqian's preferences during his lifetime.
Will the people from the Xiao family be enemies? Haha, who believes this if you say it? No one believes it, no one believes it at all! The men of the Xiao family stand upright, and there is no purer soldier than them!
"This is just to show my identity, and the troops I am in cannot reveal." Xiao Yuanchao stared at Lao Niu's eyes and said, "Maybe you can't trust me yet, but now it's no longer a matter of trust and distrust, but our outpost was attacked!"
"How can it be..."
"Bang!"
Dull gunshots came from outside, and then they fell into dead silence.
Lao Niu's face changed drastically. Du Lala was so scared that she shivered. Xiao Yuanchao immediately opened a small crack in the window and stared in the direction where the gunshots came.
"The sound of the Type 81 automatic rifle is not a battle, but a signal before death." Xiao Yuanchao closed the window and asked Lao Niu again: "What are the military goals here?"
It is obvious that this is an attack on the outpost. However, the outpost is located in the rear and is not conspicuous at all. The attacker went around the rear and attacked the inconspicuous outpost, which is definitely of great purpose.
"Strategic materials." Lao Niu replied.
"What strategic materials?" Xiao Yuanchao asked.
"I don't know." Lao Niu shook his head and pointed to the ground and said, "It's right under his feet, maybe it's gasoline or something, I don't know the specifics."
The outpost is built on a slightly flat hill, and below the outpost is the reserve warehouse. But no one knows what is stored in the warehouse, and no one has to find out. Over time, no one will pay attention to what is in the reserve warehouse.
With just one squad of troops stationed, what can the reserve warehouse have? Gasoline, Food, and Ammunition?
No one pays attention to it. The core job here is patrol and report to superiors every morning and evening. After many years, we have been walking by peacefully, and everyone knows that this is an ordinary outpost.
"Then retreat." Xiao Yuanchao immediately made a decision.
"no!"
"no!"
Lao Niu and Du Lala made a voice in unison and refused to retreat.
"This is our position. As long as the outpost is there, people must be there!" Lao Niu said firmly: "No matter what happens, we will live and die with the outpost! Because this is our position, not only our position, but also our eight brothers outside!"
"They are all dead." Xiao Yuanchao said.
"I have to see people alive, and I have to see corpses when I die!" The old cow bit his teeth.
After staring at Lao Niu for a long time, Xiao Yuanchao turned his face to Du Lala, who looked scared, and asked him what he meant with his eyes.
"Resolutely not to be a deserter!" Du Lala suddenly raised her chest, but her voice instantly became sluggish, and she asked in a trembling voice: "Is it really all dead?"
Xiao Yuanchao did not answer Du Lala, turned to look at Lao Niu and asked, "How many guns and ammunition are there?"
"Two Type 81 automatic rifles, one Type 79 submachine gun, and one base ammunition, you can't take it out." Lao Niu anxiously pointed at an iron door on the north side of the dormitory: "There are two keys in the armory, one in one, and one in the squad. Every time you go out to patrol, you have to report to the company, and then the two keys come in and out, otherwise it will trigger the alarm..."
"Is the alarm a single line?" Xiao Yuanchao asked immediately.
Hearing this sentence, Lao Niu suddenly shuddered and nodded immediately.
